Interesting, and colorful :) though my brain had intensity and tones the other way around and is now mildly confused, haha (could also be lack of sleep / reading this before coffee)

Coffee is good. :) Intensity is sometimes called chroma or richness, and this sometimes causes confusion. Tone is the same as value. We artists should settle on just one way to describe a color's three attributes. I like to call these hue, intensity and value. Although sometimes I call intensity chroma. :( In the review, I've tried to use the maker's terms.

Yep, that sums up my confusion 😅🫠 I'm with you on that, but we can't even agree on how many colors there are so somehow I don't see it happening. I use similar, though I also say saturation which is more common in digital media color palettes and sliders.

Well, yes, saturation is the other term. So many ways to say chroma!
